Look what I found at Lyricsworld -

Home
Peter Van Steeden
When shadows fall and trees whisper day is ending,
My thoughts are ever wending Home.
When crickets call, my heart is forever yearning,
Once nore to be returning Home.
When the hills conceal the setting sun,
Stars begin a peeping one by one.
Night covers all and, though fortune my forsake me,
Sweet dreams will ever take me Home.

Jo Taylor

The lyrics given there are the same as what Jo Taylor posted above.
However, the catalog entry at Indiana University Sheet Music Collections indicates there is still a missing verse:
